327: That was a sweet promise and all, but what're you gonna do when that wish forces you to go against one of your other loyalties, Hayate?

Harem-wise, Luca has the potential to be a real dark horse. I am kinda dying just to see her start to get to know the other girls, though. This chapter is pretty much the starting line, I guess. Not much ecchi, not much comedy, but at least it had some plot significance.

hmm.... another debt-girl in hayate's life.....
now I'm sure that Hayate will get harem-end..... there are already Nagi, A-tan, Hinagiku, and Luca in his life....
If Luca told Hayate to stay in her side forever.... then harem-end already decided since he has told same thing to other girls as well

I keep having this feeling that Hayate's parents somehow convinced Suirenji's parents to reach a similar deal they used to sel Hayate. Luca said, some chapters ago, that ome people tricked her parents.........and I wouldnt put it past what we have seen of his parents.

When it happened to Hina/Yukiji, I thought it might only be a jest to give Hina a temporary explanation for her attraction. But now it's extremely likely that the debts originate from the same source...

I can't bring myself to think that the girl introduced six years into the story really has a chance (Harem ending aside, and I don't expect that either) but she certainly has the potential to shake things up.

As such, I'm guessing she'll call in her promise sooner rather then later. I feel like Luca is more a critically important character to this arc then a long termer. She was originally introduced as being extremely important to Nagi as well, even though it's easy to forget with all the Hayate/Luca focus over the last dozen chapters or so.

So who are the 151-Million debt kids?

1) Hayate
2) Hina and Yukiji
3) Luca

Who else?

The Hina/Yukiji debt was smaller, but point taken. Hata did say he'd reveal more about that background later on. (In the "fall" portion of the manga, which just lends weight to my theory that it will end around Christmas time)

Most of the mystery there is with Yukiji, I think. Hina was just a little girl at the time but I definitely think there's a number of things Yukiji never told her about it.

Mikado, obviously. You see, he's trying to get a group of 12 who will then have to fight among each other for the inheritance since they are all really his children via different mothers. At which time the "Combat Butler" portion kicks into high gear and this becomes a true Seinen story...

I "hope" I'm wrong about this, but I could almost see it happening.

Jeez, that would really ruin the story.... I mean, we're basically discussing an incest harem here

And the true inheritance is a Gold Saint's armor? Well, Hayate did almost use his burning Cosmo against Yukiji that one time...

No, that's not what I meant. They can't be the same _parents_, because otherwise the kids would have known about each other.

I do wonder though if whoever/whatever lent the money might be the same, or if the activity which caused the huge debt would have been the same. Anyone/anything behind that? Mikado might actually be a good theory.

Look at it that way: All the kids with huge debts and abandoned by their parents have been exceptionally capable in some aspect. Hayate the invincible. Ruka the awesome star. Hina the fighter of justice. Heck, even Yukiji is amazing in her own way.

It was just an observation that if this is a mere coincidence, it's a strange one.

Ah... but all their parents could very well not be their real parents!

It's pretty obvious that Mikado along with whoever he's working with set them up. He certainly set Hayate up, so it's not a stretch to imagine the others did as well.

I don't remember any indication he had anything to do with Hayate before he met Nagi. (Except indirectly, by way of Athena.)

Hina didn't repay the debt, Yukiji did. (The only one among the kids to do so, for all her present problems with money...) So clearly, if she puts in the effort and is ready to risk her life, she's quite capable.
